Answer: Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson adopted the chimp named Bubbles from a cancer research centre in 1985. This was just one aspect of the "Wacko Jacko" image that Jackson was mocked for in the media. Bubbles accompanied Michael pretty much everywhere for a few years, including to recording sessions, music video shoots, and on tour in Japan. Bubbles moved into the Neverland Ranch in 1988, but was later relocated to an animal refuge, when the chimp became too aggressive to be kept by untrained people.

Answer: MacBeth

Eye of newt and toe of frog are two of the ingredients the Three Witches add to their brew in Shakespeare's "MacBeth". It's part of the "Double, double, toil and trouble" speech, in Act IV, Scene i. The full recipe is as follows:
"Round about the cauldron go:
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot...
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble...
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witch's mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tartar's lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab.
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron...
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good"

Answer: Shark

Shark tooth necklaces are commonly seen on tourists and resort-dwellers on Caribbean islands and also in popular beach areas in Florida. They also make cheap souvenirs to bring back to your friends who weren't lucky enough to be on a beach vacation with you.
